My first career was in dance. From the age of 5, ballet exams gave me butterflies that evolved into agonizing anxiety over auditions. Simply the thought of going to an audition made me want to throw up—no matter what I tried, I couldn’t relax. Even though I was consistently successful, working for top choreographers on stages and television worldwide, the evidence of success didn’t change how I felt inside. 

 

Life brought even greater challenges. After losing everything I owned in a fire on a Caribbean cruise ship and surviving a life-threatening experience in Iraq in 1982, I knew I had to make my life count. 

 

Being held hostage in a foreign country, fearing for my life daily, forced me to dig deep to find strength I didn’t know I had. Overnight, I went from living in luxury to negotiating for survival. After four long months, I secured our release and returned home—at just 21 years old. 

 

These events left me with a deep fear of loss. I lived in constant fear of losing everything again, always waiting for the next disaster. Life had shown me it couldn’t be trusted. 

 

Determined to change, I began a journey of personal development, uncovering the unconscious patterns that kept me stuck. Transforming those patterns wasn’t just life-changing—it inspired me to help others do the same.
